I don’t understand how every Elon Musk’s tweets are deemed “world news” worthy.

Some people just reflexively downvote anything musk related, the point of this post was about starlink access to gaza while it is basically under total communication blackout

Just my personal opinion here, it would be news worthy if actions were already underway to deploy Starlink to Gaza. At this stage, it’s nothing more than a tweet…

I’m curious if anything more actually needs to be done. Isn’t StarLink already available globally? Is he just reaffirming that? Is he pledging free access?

Starlink is theoretically available globally but you need the equipment to connect to it which is very unlikely to be in Gaza already and won’t be allowed to enter.

Probably because his goal is to give IDF the terminal gps cords after they are in use to target for bombings, which the US tax payers are giving both the bombs and billions USD every year to support the IDF bombings.

He will provide it until people rely on it and then rip it away to charge out the nose for access. Or block access altogether

Only works if there are already Starlink setups in Gaza. Unless he's going to ship them in somehow.

PACKAGE DELAYED REASON: BURNED UP IN EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE DURING RE-ENTRY
The closer analogy would be him turning off Starlink access in areas where people from Gaza would use it to attack Israel.

Is this even possible ? Isn’t the idf already jamming everything around the strip, and could they just jam starlink frequencies ?

There are no Starlinks in Gaza. And there won’t be so long as the war is going on. But Elon can’t let something happen in the world without trying to make it about him.
Stupid news orgs continue to lap up his verbal diarrhea.
Tomorrow: Elon calls everyone a pedophile and cuts access to allegedly prevent alien invasion.
By which I mean his statements are worthless. He lies and backtracks so much that I would want to see some actual movement before trying to care what he says.
